High Score (Netflix Docu Series 2020)
Gregory Wolfe replied to Anne Summers's topic in Retro & Arcade Gaming
She obviously meant text adventure with graphics (graphic adventure) which seems like a reasonable claim. The game you mention is obviously an early RPG and I would argue that they have always been separate genres. -
This seems rather definitive. https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-03-19/doctor-who-christopher-eccleston-russell-t-davies/

He'd previously done 'The Second Coming' with RTD.

Who really cares what a console looks like? There's always someone ready to declare it ugly.

Joust (C64) long lost now found and released
Gregory Wolfe replied to Unofficial Who's topic in Retro & Arcade Gaming
That was one I didn't have... I've just watched a video of that. The Joust I had played better/faster with better sounds and the scale of the sprites compared to the background was more accurate. I have occasionally seen screenshots of Jouste and questioned my memory but watching it on Youtube has removed all doubt. -

I was certain I had a pirate copy of this back in the day. Having such things wasn't unusual back then, see also Crystal Castles by 'Thundervision'. -
This is worth a watch.

Retro Gamer 206 (The lockdown issue)
Gregory Wolfe replied to strider's topic in Retro & Arcade Gaming
Half Life being featured in this issue is analogous with Manic Miner being featured in issue 1. Just saying. -

To be fair the programmer of Fire Track, Nick Pelling (AKA Orlando), was considered to be one of the best programmers on the BBC micro. http://www.beebgames.com/npinterv.php -

Making of the Prince of Persia
Gregory Wolfe replied to Unofficial Who's topic in Retro & Arcade Gaming
This guy makes a lot of good observations about the merits of various versions, particularly with regard to controls. I was disappointed to note there was no Amiga version featured but I imagine it's interchangeable with the PC version and he's portraying a more US centric view and the Amiga didn't really make it in a big way over there. The Amiga version certainly looks the same as the PC version and the controls were excellent. -

No, HDMI does not 100% support the Spectrum's native video timing. A buffer in the FPGA hardware would be nice but it's a hardware fix for a shortcoming of the HDMI standard. Use a different connection FFS.
